Here Eric Landon is working on the wheel in the Tortus Studio. Our smallscale production allows us to be intimately involved in all levels of the making process and we take pride in the beauty of our process.
IN STUDIO WITH …
ERIC LANDON of Tortus Copenhagen, producers of fine ceramics in the heart of Copenhagen. The aptly dubbed “Sexy Potter ” was named 2015 Craftsman of the Year in Denmark, and has become an Instagram sensation thanks to mesmerising videos and shots of his spectacular handmade ceramics.
This is a selection of vases on display in the Tortus Boutique. Our production is based on a seamless dialogue between design and handwork. This drives an ever-evolving production of ceramics rich in form, colour and texture, making each encounter with our objects something unique.

We have a Tortus boutique located in the same location as the studio, which is in a protected building that dates back to 1734.
The Tortus Studio is where all our vases are hand made on the wheel by Eric Landon. He also gives week-long workshops in throwing, once or twice a month.
